PEORIA — Peoria police say multiple shooters were involved in an incident on the riverfront early Sunday morning that left 13 with gunshot wounds. “Multiple shooters were involved, and the shooting is a result of a dispute between groups of people, gangs.”
Officers responded at 4:42 a.m. to the area of Water Street and Hamilton Boulevard and found a large gathering of nearly 200 people. Two victims were located at the scene — an adult male with a gunshot wound to the neck and an adult female. Both victims were transported to a local hospital via ambulance with serious injuries.
Eleven victims with gunshot wounds to their extremities arrived separately to local hospitals via private vehicles. In total from the riverfront incident, there were six men and seven women shot, Dotson said.
